[Bug 11148] New: X restarts when opening certain apps in wine

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11148 Summary: X restarts when opening certain apps in wine Product: Wine Version: 0.9.53. Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: jellerhimself(a)hotmail.com First of all I don't know if this is an actual bug in wine, but don't know where else to report. I run Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy, and there is no issue when running the wine version in the official gutsy repository (0.9.46). When I upgrade wine through the repositories on wine.budgetdedicated.com most of the apps stops working. Just after the wine desktop appears the computer restarts X (like pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace). The following apps all works on 0.9.46 (and still does if I downgrade) Return Of The Incredible Machine Edit+ 2 Elasto Mania Pocket Tanks GTA2 Starcraft 1 Mansion Poker But after upgrading to 0.9.5x only Edit+ 2 and Mansion Poker works. Can't say if 0.9.47-49 works because I haven't tried them. The fact that it's the game apps that doesn't work makes me think it's a graphics problem. The system has a intel i965 chip, and the xserver-xorg-video-intel drivers installed. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: directx-dinput AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: erasmo(a)erasmix.net There are some controls on CS2 that allow you to slide a token indicator along a scale or to adjust a curve by clicking and dragging on any point across it. I found multiple examples where these are not working. 1 - Create a new adjustment layer with “Levels”. The resulting dialog has little sliding tokens to adjust both the input and output levels.

Here is a screenshot to illustrate: http://download.erasmix.net/CS2-WINE/Screenshot-2.png 3- Create an adjustment layer using “Brightness/Contrast”.

I have a feeling that there are a few appdb maintainers who are inactive, which reduces the overall effectiveness and quality of the appdb. If appdb entries have maintainers but the data is old, why are they still maintainers and is there something that can be done to stop this from happening. I have some ideas, my first idea is that maintainers should be reminded to submit new test data after each new release if no one else has. If they cannot manage to do this they should get a warning that they aren't meeting the responsibilities of a maintainer and will be removed. If they still don't manage to make good on their commitment they should be removed and a record made that they have been unreliable if they decide to sign up sometime in the future, which might tie into the approval process. This would include maintainers failing to approve or reject test data or screenshots, (I think this is already in progress or done within the last few days?) My second idea is that might be useful is a link to list of apps that require maintainers or test data, this way people can actively seek out to improve the system by browsing lists appdb entries that, a. need screenshots b. need test data c. volunteer as a maintainer to regularly do a and b. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
